Douglas John, born in 1967, is an award-winning Indian artist known for his captivating landscapes and intriguing use of light. His artistic journey began in Solapur, but it was Mumbai's vibrant energy that truly inspired him. After graduating with a B.F.A. from the J. J. School of Art in Mumbai (1990) and later an M.F.A. from Dr. B. A. M. University (2009), he launched his artistic career.
John's fascination with Mumbai is evident in his first solo exhibition, "Mumbai Déjà vu." His paintings delve into the city's essence, capturing its spirit and diversity. Light plays a central role in his work, as seen in exhibitions like "Light 'n' Light" which explores the devotion of pilgrims. This exploration of light continues in "In Search of Light," showcasing his ongoing artistic quest.
A distinct characteristic of John's paintings is the frequent portrayal of figures with their backs turned. This technique evokes curiosity in viewers, inviting them to participate in the unseen scene and contemplate the narrative. His artistic merit has been recognized with prestigious awards like the State Award in painting Landscape (1993 Maharashtra State Art Exhibition), the National Achievement Award for Kala Ratna (2008), and the National Academy Award (2019) for his "Inner Divinity" series.
Through his captivating landscapes and masterful use of light, Douglas John has established himself as a prominent figure in Indian contemporary art.
